Jake Arrieta scattered seven hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing one walk with seven strikeouts in a win Wednesday against the visiting Braves.

Arrieta looked ace-like against the Braves, as the Phillies scratched back within a half-game of first place Atlanta in the National League East. It was his first victory since April 25, but it isn't due to a stretch of poor pitching. Wednesday's outing marked his third consecutive quality start. He has now allowed just two homers over his 51 1/3 innings this season. He'll try to carry over the momentum into next Tuesday's road outing against the Dodgers to kick off a two-start week.

Jake Arrieta yielded four runs -- two earned -- in three innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Arrieta has been very good in five of his eight starts this year and still has a 2.82 ERA, but where did the strikeouts go? He's totaled just 13 in his last five starts. He did fan 10 against the Pirates on April 19, but that's the only time all year that he's struck out more than five. He's going to have to do a little better than that to keep his ERA down.

He was in position for the win before Hector Neris blew the save in the ninth. Arrieta was in control against the scuffling Mets, scattering five hits while walking a pair and striking out five. He’s still not striking out batters at the same rate we’ve seen in the past, but it was an improvement after he struck out two batters in three straight starts coming in. Arrieta now has a 2.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through his first seven starts with Philadelphia. He gets the Cardinals on the road next. May 11 - 10:10 PM

Jake Arrieta pitched six innings of one-run baseball in a no decision against the Nationals on Sunday.

Arrieta allowed just two hits, and he walked two while striking out two. It's a nice bounce back from his awful start on Monday against the Marlins where he couldn't get out of the fourth inning. If there's a concern here, it's that the former Cubs ace isn't missing many bats, as he's had just six strikeouts in his last three starts. The ERA sits at a very respectable 3.15, however, and he'll try to miss more bats while having similar results against the Mets on Friday. May 6 - 5:28 PM

Jerad Eickhoff (lat) will visit a surgeon who specializes in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome to discuss the nerve issues in his fingers.

Eickhoff felt a twinge at the tips of his middle and index finger when throwing breaking-balls in his rehab start on Monday. He'll visit with Dr. Robert Thompson, a vascular surgeon who specializes in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. For now, We should know more about the next steps for the right-hander after the visit.

It's his first time he's thrown in a few weeks after he was diagnosed with a right forearm strain. Neshek had already been dealing with a strained right shoulder. He'll continue throwing on flat ground for now and has a ways to go.
